Juniper 'Blue Star' is a evergreen conifer. Unique among junipers for its intensely silver-blue, short, prickly needles on a compact, irregular mounding form — extraordinary texture and color for rock gardens. Thrives in full sun with excellent drainage. Extremely drought tolerant, deer resistant, and adaptable to poor soils once established. A workhorse landscape plant for slopes, groundcover, screens, and foundation plantings where reliable, low-maintenance evergreen coverage is needed.
